Depends how its confuigured.

If the only important thing is booting speed, then Linux From Scratch (LFS)
i managed to get a 1.2Ghz Athlon machine to boot in 6 seconds.

Yea, you have to compile LFS yourself.

Most distro's can be tweaked to boot faster.
make sure you only start the services that you use on boot.

also, have a look at programs like prelink. (ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink)
pre-link slightly improvs programs load and execution time by pre linking binary's to their libraries.
